The emergence and rise of mobile colistin resistance genes are of great global concern due to the ease of transfer of resistance to other bacteria. This report describes the genome of a colistin- and multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae isolate bearing mcr-8 , obtained from a hospitalized patient in Kenya.
